		<description>Hello,

I&#039;m a mother of a 16year old son who loves football and basketball. 

His last season he had suffered his 2nd GRADE 3 CONCUSSION in a 11 month period.  

He was being told that if he got one more concussion, he would never be able to play sports again. I started to do major research on concussions and mouth guards when I  came across your website. My son was fitted for a Maher mouth guard right before the football season begun. In the first game he was hit very hard and as a mom.I was holding my breath to see if he had to come out of the game. He got right up and continued playing. After the game I asked him about that hit and he said &quot;Mom I can&#039;t believe I didn&#039;t feel a thing&quot;

Which ,as the season continued, he said it has helped unbelievable! I have parents coming to talk to me when their child gets a concussion to see what I have learned and what steps for protection I have taken. I truly believe that the Maher mouth guard is 100% the reason my son can continue to play sports. Thank you!

		<description>how can you call Willie&#039;s hit a hard Foul? It was a clean hit in which Mitchell stepped out of the box and caught Toews with his head down with the puck. You could watch the clip of it over and over, but the one thing u must give to Willie Mitchell is he let up on the hit, he absorbed toews and just stood there. He didnt want to end this kids promising career because he could of easily drilled him at full blast. If the league has problems with all these hits like the OHL hit a couple days ago, then change the rules about certain hits, Dont give them crap because there playing by the rules, its hockey</description>

The latest research peer reviewed by the Academy of Sports Dentistry and a Harvard MGH specialist, suggests a retainer like Mouth guard used in the NFL and with such programs as the University of Texas, should be considered as part of a return to play protocol. One concussion and your six times more likely to have another, this protocol identifies and corrects a known link to the concussion origin. www.mahercor.com</description>

		<description>My opinion is it was an attempt to injure on the part of Phaneuf.  Harde hits and colateral injuries are part of the game and part of the risk assumed - but this guy has a different kind of problem.  I hope the league takes appropriate action for the safety of the players.</description>
